Meanwhile, on the same show on Hitz FM, KiDi, who was tipped to win the Artiste of the Year award spoke about being disheartened he couldn’t win.

"I was disappointed for not winning the Artiste of the Year because I am human. I had it at the back of my head that anybody else could win. However, as human —I was hopeful. It's normal," said the Lynx Entertainment artiste.

"Before Diana Hamilton was announced [as] the Artiste of the Year, almost everyone around me had their phones on me, saying I was going to win. I said to myself "What are you guys doing? If I don't win it will be yawa oo."
